Scooter Gennett slugged a grand slam in Friday’s loss to the Red Sox.

It was his fourth grand slam of the season. Lou Gehrig had a four-homer game in 1932 and four grand slams in 1934, but Gennett is the only player in MLB history to pull off the feat in the same season. Imagine putting Gennett and Gehrig in the same sentence back in March. The surprise slugger is batting .297/.345/.548 with 27 homers and 93 RBI over 133 games this season. Sep 22 - 10:47 PM

Scooter Gennett hit his 25th homer of the season on Sunday in a victory over Pittsburgh.

What a difference a year makes. Gennett's homer was a two-run shot off of Gerrit Cole in the sixth to make it 5-0 Reds. It's hard to believe that this was a player that Cincinnati picked up after being designated-for-assignment by Milwaukee this winter. He's now knocked in 87 runs, and has a robust .297/.346/.541 line on his 2017 campaign. Sep 17 - 5:38 PM

Scooter Gennett (hand) returned to the Reds' starting lineup on Saturday.

Gennett missed the previous three games due to inflammation in his left hand. He's hitting fifth against Ivan Nova and the Pirates on Saturday. The 24-year-old is hitting .297/.347/.538 with 24 homers and 85 RBI in what has been a breakthrough season offensively. Sep 16 - 12:07 PM

Scooter Gennett (hand) is out of the Reds' starting lineup again on Thursday at St. Louis.

Gennett also sat out of Wednesday's game after making an early exit Tuesday due to inflammation in his left hand. Jose Peraza will start at second base and bat leadoff Thursday versus Cardinals right-hander Luke Weaver. Sep 14 - 11:59 AM

Mesoraco landed on the disabled list Tuesday after suffering a left foot fracture when he was hit by a pitch on Monday night against the Cubs. The 29-year-old catcher has been limited to 56 games in 2017 and he could very well be done for the season.

DeSclafani got a second opinion recently on his sore right elbow and it confirmed that he was dealing with tendinitis, not anything structural. Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer says a return this year is "iffy."

Brandon Finnegan underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right (non-throwing) shoulder.

Finnegan suffered the injury during a fall away from the field. The southpaw has had some awful luck recently, as he recently aggravated his left trapezius muscle in his first start back from the DL on June 26. He's on the 60-day disabled list, which means he isn't eligible to return until late August. It's basically a lost year for him.

Rookie Davis could require surgery to repair an impingement in his hip.

He's shut down for the season at the very least and it's possible he'll go under the knife. Davis evidently must have suffered the injury during last week's start versus the Cardinals. Deck McGuire is taking his spot in the Reds' rotation.
